Lake Charles Shopping Center Acquired By Chase Properties

(Business Wire) - Chase Properties, a Beachwood, Ohio-based owner and operator of shopping centers, announces the acquisition of Prien Lake Shopping Center in Lake Charles, Louisiana. Prien Lake is an approximately 135,000 square foot shopping center that is anchored by Marshalls, Ross Dress for Less and Bed Bath & Beyond. To accommodate the seller’s desire for a year-end close, Chase Properties closed on the transaction within 44 days of reaching agreement on basic deal terms. CBRE brokered the sale.

The acquisition was a great way to wrap up a successful 2018 during which we acquired over $100 million of retail and multifamily properties.”
